A proposed Tennessee law would make following the Islamic code known as Shariah law a felony, punishable by 15 years in jail.

State Sen. Bill Ketron, R-Murfreesboro, and state Rep. Judd Matheny, R-Tullahoma, introduced the same bill in the Senate and House last week. It calls Shariah law a danger to homeland security and gives the attorney general authority to investigate complaints and decide who's practicing it.

It exempts peaceful practice of Islam but labels any adherence to Shariah law — which includes religious practices such as feet washing and prayers — as treasonous. It claims Shariah adherents want to replace the Constitution with their religious law.

The bill is SB 1028 in the Senate and HB 1353 in the House.

I am in favor of passing this bill with FEW PROVISIONS THAT DO NOT CONFLICT WITH OUR LAWS: for example, washing feet, diet, prayers: however, any provisions that contradict our laws, disrupt our way of life, and can dismantal our Constitution or security, and disregard our laws must not be allowed in order to protect Tennesseans. Researching the Sharia Law, I read about its political mandates to do whatever is necessary to deceive others in accepting it, and if others do not accept it then they are to be killed as kaifers, infidels (Sharia Law for Non-Muslims, by Warner, Bill, 2010). They believe women and children are no more than property; have a specific set of how to abuse them, state their abhorance for Americans, Christianity, and any other religion; and are set to take us as their slaves, of which the white, Christian, female American brings top dollar for slavery, who can be raped, beaten, and killed. This is not a religion. It wishes to displace the Constitution and all laws we are goverened under, does not wish to support out taxes or country, but only to take. We must take a hard line against any implentation of Sharia Law. If they are in our Land they must abide with our laws. If their laws are in conflict with ours then this is a crime and should be punishable. Our laws state we are not to steal, kill, bare false witness, pay taxes, and so forth. Many moral values are within the Constitution. They do not need their Sharia Law which conflicts with our laws to know right from wrong or have any morals. These are in our laws. However, their laws speak that it is fine to take slaves, beat, torture, and kill others, steal our things, deceive us, and more. SEE what is happening in Europe who were politically correct and unleashed a nightmare they now fight. Look at the history of Hindus, Catholics, Christians, and many other peaceful religions who fell to Muslims due to the violence. This is serious and I am asking you to take a stand against the Sharia Law. If they violate humans in our country then they must be prosecuted under our law.It is a Big deal. It is not being prejudiced against another. It is protecting people and our rights

"We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular."~Edward R. Murrow

The present Constitution of the State of Tennessee declares that "all men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their conscience; that no man can of right be compelled to attend, erect or support any place of worship or support any minister against his consent; that no human authority can, in any case whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience; and that no preference shall be given by law to any religious establishment; that no political or religious test, other than an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and of this state, shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust in this state."
